Power off for 1 minute then back ON with the ISP modem and Orbi system.
This firmware is only for the Orbi AX 750 series systems, only for manual download and installation.
Let us know how it works for you...

Hello, the firmware works well, is it stable? I haven't installed it yet.This firmware - 3.2.18.1 - has been very stable on my RBK753S.
I did also turn off IPv6 6 days ago, not sure if that was causing problems before, but with this firmware my Orbi AX system has been rock solid for the past 6 days - no wireless disconnects.
Now I can comfortably sell my RBK53 - I had been holding off since I just got the RBK753S a week and a half ago (last day of sale) and first wanted to ensure the RBK753S was stable for at least a week.

Update with a lot of good news (trying to consolidate from other thread(s):
Well, what a difference from a couple of hours ago where I had both display issues and (perceived?) speed issues. :)
1. Display issues for one satellite's 'model name' and 'current firmware version' (only an issue on the firmware update screen):
Now resolved after several reboots and waiting for a few hours for things to resolve on their own (as noted above).
2. (Perceived) Speed issue:
After rebooting the router [and also rebooting cable modem for good measure], my "download speeds issue" might also be resolved (will monitor for rest of the day) - Rather than rely on using speedtest.net which seems to be having issues today in terms of speeds being underreported, even with my ISP's server, I decided to test an actual download:
Results: While speed does fluctuate quite a bit / somewhat (not unusual) during the download, I am getting up to 450 Mbps which is what I have been seeing recently since first testing it Monday after getting my RBK753S and setting it up late Sunday night (ISP tier is officially 400 Mbps, but they always over provision).
Will keep an eye on it, but a lot happier than earlier today!!!
what might help in these good news reports would be to state which firmware the user went FROM.

I was on 3.2.16.x and went to 3.2.18.x
Update - While the display and even the [perceived] downstream speed issues are both resolved, as reported, I do have bad news:
Connecitivty via wifi did just cut out a couple several minutes ago for about 1 minute (like yesterday morning), so the stability issues persist, even with the latest firmware...
Even one drop every day (or two) is deal breaker for me since we are both working from home now...
I did not get a chance to test wired internet while the internet was down via wifi and forgot to check the Orbi lights; I was focused on getting wife connected back to her work call (one on one call, but still not good), so I completely forgot to quickly check the light on the router.
Thank you for sharing the information about the new firmware release for the RBR750/RBS750 series. I have reviewed the firmware update instructions and it is straightforward and easy to follow.
I have also checked the Netgear security website and there is no information about any specific security vulnerabilities that have been fixed in this firmware release. However, it is always a good idea to keep your firmware up to date to get the latest security fixes and bug fixes.
I will download and install the new firmware on my Orbi AX 750 system and let you know how it works out.
Additional information:
It is important to note that this firmware is only for the Orbi AX 750 series systems, only for manual download and installation. If you have a different Orbi system, please check the Netgear support website to see if there is a new firmware release available for your system.
It is also important to back up your Orbi system configuration before updating the firmware. In case something goes wrong during the firmware update, you can restore your system to its previous configuration.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
